4. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

4.1. Ajuste de aumento

The microscope offers a wide range of magnification by combining different eyepieces and objective lenses. The total magnification is calculated by multiplying the eyepiece magnification by the objective lens magnification.

  • Oculares: Use either the 10x widefield or 25x widefield eyepieces.
  • Lentes objetivos: Rotate the forward-facing nosepiece to select from 4x, 10x, 40xS (spring-loaded), and 100xS (spring-loaded, oil immersion) DIN achromatic objectives.
  • The 40xS and 100xS objectives are spring-loaded to prevent damage to slides when focusing.

4.2. Control de iluminación

The microscope uses lower (diascopic) Brightfield LED illumination to transmit light through the specimen.

  • Fuente de luz LED: Turn on the LED illumination using the power switch. Adjust the brightness using the rheostat control knob.
  • Abbe Condenser (1.25 NA): Adjust the condenser to control the distance of the light from the stage.
  • Diafragma del iris: Use the iris diaphragm lever to optimize the amount of light illuminating the specimen, enhancing contrast and resolution.

4.3. Enfoque

Achieve clear focus using the coaxial coarse and fine focus knobs:

  • Perilla de enfoque grueso: Use for large adjustments to bring the specimen into approximate focus, especially with lower magnification objectives.
  • Perilla de enfoque fino: Use for small, precise adjustments to achieve sharp focus, particularly with higher magnification objectives.

4.4. Mecánica Stage Operación

The double-layer mechanical stage allows for precise movement of the slide.

  • Slide Holder: Secure the microscope slide using the slide clips on the mechanical stage.
  • X-Y Axis Control: Use the X-Y axis knobs located below the stage to move the slide horizontally and vertically, allowing you to scan the specimen area.

4.5. Siedentopf Head Adjustment

The Siedentopf binocular head is designed for comfortable viewcompartir y compartir.

  • Inter-pupillary Adjustment: Adjust the distance between the two ocular tubes (53 to 77mm) to match your eye spacing for comfortable viewEn.
  • Ajuste dióptrico: Use the diopter ring on one of the ocular tubes to compensate for differences in eye strength between your left and right eyes.
  • Rotación: The head can rotate 360 degrees, which is useful for sharing the view with others without moving the entire microscope.
